Every mature business started as a siloed business before the advent of the digital age. It thought in boxes, such as “we have 1000 shops, 2000 ticket machines, 100 stores, 15 big IT environments, several finance department all over the world, an internal loan office,” etc. IT helped to get the business running and delivered goods, sent invoices, helped to close books and so on.

In the digital age, IT does so much more. Instead of facilitating the business, in many cases IT is the business. In today´s world, the enterprise business needs to get out of siloed thinking. Why? There are business imperatives to take care of and to have a successful, agile business, IT needs to adapt quickly.
